ROHM Semiconductor Launches SiC Molded Modules for Electric Vehicle Traction Inverters
ROHM Revolutionizes xEV Traction Inverters with High-Power-Density TRCDRIVE Pack Series
BonChip Electronics, a leading distributor of innovative power electronics solutions, is excited to introduce ROHM's groundbreaking TRCDRIVE pack series, featuring 2-in-1 SiC molded modules designed to transform the landscape of electric vehicle (xEV) traction inverters. These cutting-edge modules address the critical challenges of miniaturization, efficiency, and reduced installation time, empowering engineers to develop next-generation xEVs with exceptional performance.
Unleashing the Power of SiC for Traction Inverters
The TRCDRIVE pack series comprises four models: two 750 V-rated (BSTxxxD08P4A1x4) and two 1200 V-rated (BSTxxxD12P4A1x1) modules, all optimized for xEV traction inverters. These modules deliver a remarkable combination of benefits:
Industry-Leading Power Density: ROHM's proprietary structure maximizes heat dissipation and incorporates their 4th Generation SiC MOSFETs with low ON resistance, resulting in an industry-leading power density 1.5 times higher than conventional SiC molded modules. This enables engineers to create compact, high-power inverters for space-constrained applications.
Enhanced Efficiency: The TRCDRIVE pack modules feature a unique terminal configuration that minimizes parasitic inductance and optimizes current flow, leading to lower switching losses and improved overall inverter efficiency.
Reduced Installation Time: Press fit pins are employed for easy connection of the gate driver board, significantly reducing installation time and simplifying the manufacturing process.
Two-Layer Bus-Bar Structure: This innovative design enhances current distribution and reduces skin effect, further minimizing losses during switching and contributing to overall efficiency.
Comprehensive Support for Optimal Design
ROHM is committed to providing comprehensive support to customers utilizing the TRCDRIVE pack series. This includes:
Application-Level Assistance: ROHM's experienced engineers offer expert guidance on application-specific design considerations, ensuring optimal performance and system reliability.
